[void tangle]

Just buy electric fan

[rugged kayak]

its not same

[void tangle]

[rugged kayak]

i need 6 fans

[small badge]

Its like hearing the tumble dryer while you sleep

[rapid merlin]

I also remove dynamic range from movies etc. using ffmpeg "compand=attacks=0:points=-80/-900|-45/-15|-27/-9|0/-7|20/-7:gain=5"

[jolly sluice]

Wasn't there a tab for Series rooms?

[obtuse brook]

I've got 3 racknerd VPS's that cost me like $90/yr combined. Only really use one of them as a tailscale exit node to give me a static IP i can whitelist in case I need to access some work resources from my personal laptop when I'm not at home

[small badge]

Vps?

[obtuse brook]

virtual private server

[small badge]

Ah yes

[void tangle]

Finally done Linux Fundamentals, moving on to Windows Fundamentals. But I will have to catch up to AOC, tomorrow is just full blast AOC then back to basics once again. I love Linux, hopefully next year I can buy a dedicated laptop for linux

[obtuse brook]

You have a W10/11 laptop? just use wsl man

[rugged kayak]

why not dual boot

[void tangle]

I'll think about it but its my gaming PC, I don't want to do dual boot on it

[small badge]

I cant lie i never want to dual boot again

[obtuse brook]

Again, use WSL

[rugged kayak]

why

[obtuse brook]

or put vmware workstation pro on it and run linux VMs

[jolly sluice]

Just install a virtual machine

[small badge]

My pc was not prepared

And it fucked up my bios

I mean my boot drive

Now i have a partition leftover from trying to dualboot parrot os

That i cant delete no matter what

[grizzled wing]

John Hammond is gonna have 🥦 for part of his dinner

i win!

[rapid merlin]

and salmon and rice!

[rugged kayak]

diskpart?

[rapid merlin]

made me hungry when he mentioned it 😄

[grizzled wing]

eating my dinner sandwiches

[small badge]

Its my boot swap for windows is shared with parrot boot

[rugged kayak]

i would make live usb with some live linux and fix disk that way

remove leftover partition and fix efi entries

[small badge]

So every now and then when i turn on my pc it boots parrot os instead of windows but there is no parrot os on the system just the boot loader grub

[rugged kayak]

yea you need to delete it parrot entry from boot partition

[small badge]

So everytime i turn on my pc i have to go into boot manager

Its been there so long i now subconsciously start spamming the f12 key when turning on my pc

[rugged kayak]

just change boot order in bios

go into bios settings and put windows boot manager above parrot

[small badge]

I did but it still happens

My windows boot is also the parrot boot thats all it is

I just get unlucky

[rugged kayak]

yes its same disk but those are different boot entries

[small badge]

I’ll have a look in the morning when I’m not laying down

[rugged kayak]

i only once had issue with booting

because i installed windows 11 after installing linux

when windows deleted grub entry

but nothing little arch iso cant fix

[small badge]

I personally run kali

[rugged kayak]

i dont like debian based distros that much

kali being only excpetion

but i run arch as main os and arch as vm for hacking

[rapid merlin]

@small badge this might be some interesting info relating to your boot scenario https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record

[rugged kayak]

mbr is ancient

[small badge]

Thanks I’ll book mark it in dms to my alt

[rugged kayak]

every newer pc now uses GPT

[rapid merlin]

yes

referenced in the link

[small badge]

Tbh i want to own two pcs

I think it’d be nice

One entire pc just dedicated for linux

One for gaming

[rapid merlin]

it's really nice having hardware specific for use case

[small badge]

I have bad specs since i got my first pc as a prebuilt

[rapid merlin]

@grizzled wing that was a cool stream, thanks for the heads up on it

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @grizzled wing (current: #78 - 102)

[small badge]

So i think I’d need something better like a custom build or like a hp omen or something

[grizzled wing]

anytime i see you in chat i will let you know when cool stuff happens

[rugged kayak]

i would look for used thinkpads

or lenovo in general

[small badge]

Aint got the p’s for that

Even if its like 200 i aint even got that

Maybe on Christmas i can have enough to get a cheapo one

[rugged kayak]

i mean if you dont play any games with kernel level anti cheat id say you can switch to linux no problem

[small badge]

I had a old lenovo laptop from like 2017 but lost it i havent seen it since then

[grizzled wing]

still on the lenovo and thinkpads? that was hours ago

[small badge]

I use my pc to play val sometimes maybe the odd some stardew valley but yh

[rugged kayak]

rito games enjoyer

[small badge]

?

[rugged kayak]

best feature of linux is that it cant run League

[rugged kayak]

i hate riot xD

[small badge]

I dont play league and i only play val with my mates at late hours nothing serious

I prefer rpgs tbh

Like final fantasy 14

[rugged kayak]

i recently finished divinity 2

[small badge]

Divinawhat?

[rugged kayak]

divinity 2 original sin

[small badge]

I don’t know what that is

[austere verge]

League is too hard

[rugged kayak]

great rpg from same studio as baldurs gate 3

dafak is prolog

[void tangle]

Its a programming language according to Mr Google

[cerulean nest]

[void tangle]

You can replace prolog with ml to become red

[plucky field]

Am I in the right place?

[void tangle]

For?

[grizzled wing]

🎄

[opaque flax]

Maybe it depends

[grizzled wing]

tomorrow was yesterday

[void tangle]

wtf

[plucky field]

I just graduated with my bachelors.

[grizzled wing]

yay

[plucky field]

In computational and data sciences.

[void tangle]

oh thats nice

[plucky field]

I'm not sure if learning cybersecurity will help me get a job.

[grizzled wing]

it helps in life

[plucky field]

Is this the best learning platform for cybersecurity?

[grizzled wing]

yes

[opaque flax]

It depends on what you want to do I guess

[warped summit]

Yes

[rapid merlin]

@plucky field pretty sure it will be helpful regardless going forward 👍

[opaque flax]

But thm is very good

[warped summit]

Wrd

[plucky field]

Well, I only just gotten started here.

[void tangle]

As someone who knows nothing about cybercraft, I have learned alot in my 1 week of THM.

[grizzled wing]

1 week that changed your life

[void tangle]

[plucky field]

I know a bit about IP addresses.

But my coding skills are still rusty.

I programmed in R and python.

And I worked in cloud terminals before.

[grizzled wing]

nice. coding is helpful but not required

[plucky field]

But somehow my skills are still lacking.

[warped summit]

really helpful

[rapid merlin]

nice, R is really great for data is my understanding, aligns with your data science

[warped summit]

Im a software developer

switched to pentesting

[grizzled wing]

nice to be able to understand the malware etc

[opaque flax]

Welcome to tech. You always feel that way

[warped summit]

Man im happy that i learned coding first

[plucky field]

@warped summit Have you done data science before?

[warped summit]

Yuh also making ur own payloads

[warped summit]

Naw

[grizzled wing]

i do data science

[plucky field]

@grizzled wing You know a bit about statistical learning and modeling?

I played with netlogo for one of my classes.

[grizzled wing]

i do . i know machine learning

[plucky field]

Okay. I have an older brother who is also a data scientist.

And because I just graduated and had a conversation with him about his workplace, I'm starting to feel a bit pressured.

A lot of grads he interviewed at his company don't have enough skills. What would take them two months he could do in 5 minutes.

[void tangle]

I think you develop most of the skill in the job. So its better to expose yourself at least in my case.

[plucky field]

@void tangle What was your tech education?

Are you a software developer?

[void tangle]

Aircraft Engineer

[plucky field]

Oh...

I didn't expect that.

[void tangle]

It happens D:

[grizzled wing]

cyber security is for everyone

[warped summit]

This

[plucky field]

I heard the job market is terrible.

[rapid merlin]

I can understand feeling some pressure after graduation, it might feel like some unknowns

[plucky field]

A lot of tech layoffs.

[warped summit]

Its not in my country

[plucky field]

Lots of ghosting in the US currently.

[warped summit]

maybe in parts of the usa

[warped summit]

yes

[plucky field]

And data science jobs require at least Masters or a PhD.

I don't feel like doing that now.

[grizzled wing]

could also be the pseudo firings where people are forced to move departments so their old role "got fired"

[plucky field]

Is THM enough to get a cybersecurity role?

[grizzled wing]

its foundation

cyber sec takes certs

practical experience

[warped summit]

i mean

[plucky field]

So I have to take certifications?

[void tangle]

Like comptia just to get through HR

[warped summit]

if u really spent time on thm

And read books and watch a bunch of videos and really grind it

[grizzled wing]

grad school | certs: A+ Sec+ ...

[warped summit]

and then get those certs

You’d definitely get a role

[plucky field]

I'll see how this THM goes.

[warped summit]

helped me alot

[plucky field]

I always have this habit of starting things and then abandoning them.

[warped summit]

highly recommend it

[plucky field]

I only came across this server on Discord.

I'll start to look into it.

[rapid merlin]

being involved and connected to people in an industry you are interested in can also be a huge part of success career wise

[grizzled wing]

@plucky field #start-here

[plucky field]

I'll see how this goes.

[mellow gull]

Playing with John always makes me happy

[warped summit]

Worked on ssrf today

[warped summit]

Exactly

[opaque flax]

You can also look into local cyber security groups and see when they do meetups

[grizzled wing]

thats fun

[vague frigate]

i prefer mint

[austere verge]

I’m running Linux so I prolly could use the vpn thing but eh too much effort

[warped summit]

just the rush of getting a rce and escalating ur privileges is cool asl

[void tangle]

Im loving AOC so much I wish we can have an AOC for 365 days task

[opaque flax]

You can!

[warped summit]

i switched to my own machine like 2 weeks ago i think

[opaque flax]

It’s just THM!

[void tangle]

[grizzled wing]

[warped summit]

Yuh

[opaque flax]

AoC is THM light

[warped summit]

Whats Aoc dont laugh at me😭🙏🏼

[opaque flax]

Advent of cyber

[warped summit]

Ohhh

[grizzled wing]

my favorite is IDORs

[warped summit]

The event thingy

[opaque flax]

I love i doors too!

[void tangle]

Oh, I thought they remove them once event is done. I'll definitely do all AOC availlable after I completed my 2024AOC

[grizzled wing]

THM has dark mode -- if you missed the news

[mellow gull]

Also again if I could get someone to check this for/with me I need to know if I'm crazy or not.

[warped summit]

No way

finally

[grizzled wing]

yep finally

[warped summit]

I was getting blinded everytime switching from kali to thm

waiting for my other book to come in

[grizzled wing]

sorry didnt see your message. also not on windows so i cant help

[grizzled wing]

i use dark reader so it hasnt been an issue for most of my time on THM

[mellow gull]

[heady parrot]

uh yea but i cant quit coffe

coffe taste good

thats prbably why

[rapid merlin]

no coffee for 1 week = best sleep

[grizzled wing]

coffee bean break , its worthwhile

[rapid merlin]

so true

[grizzled wing]

i just end up tiring myself out from the gym that coffee is NULL so not an issue for me. i support your break though

[spark garden]

Guys, can a beginner - intermediate person in cyber do the side quest?

[grizzled wing]

might need to have a team to help you

give it a try, they are meant to be hard so its worth trying

[spark garden]

looking at it superficially, it seems to have less things than the advent room

[spark garden]

ok

[obtuse brook]

You have to find things in the advent room(s) to start the side quest

[warped summit]

Are they actually hard?

they dont disappear after the event is done right?

[spark garden]

oh

[grizzled wing]

last year was hard for me and the teammate who was better at hacking. it is a challenge but you never know how far you can go

[grizzled wing]

not sure, better to ask Scrubz or James

[plucky field]

I'm not 100% sure if I should continue.

[rapid merlin]

nice work finishing a room!

the nice part about THM is there really is no pressure

[grizzled wing]

well, there are plenty of free rooms to learn and try so no problem if its not the time for your now

[plucky field]

I feel my bachelor's in data science isn't enough for me to stand out.

I feel unskilled still.

But I don't want to compete against so many others who are trying to break in.

[grizzled wing]

focus on yourself

[rapid merlin]

your challenge might be your own confidence

[grizzled wing]

take what you know and like from data science then apply it to cyber security on a topic you eventually learn. build a dashboard or something = unique . problem solved

[plucky field]

I'll think about it in around 24 hours.

I'm going to meditate in bed.

[spark garden]

Don't be discouraged brother, nowadays getting into the job market is really complicated, but if you like the area, there are several free courses, and LinkedIn is also a good way to network

When I say it's not my celebration, people often say to me, I'm not religious but I celebrate christmas, so I ask do you celebrate hanukkah, and they tell me that has nothing to do with me, and I reply my point exactly 🙂

[half girder]

when coca cola would stick the same effort in hanukkah as in xmas, it would be celebrated xD

[blazing granite]

yep, the fat guy with the red suit, it was all down to coca-cola ad. I know that 🙂

[fossil merlin]

I haven't thought of it that way.

My family is Ukrainian Orthodox so I suppose that christmas was part of my upbringing

[blazing granite]

it wasn't part of mine 🙂

I understand my friend. Dw I'm not asking you to celebrate.

[blazing granite]

@fossil merlin A lot of people don't understand that I don't wish happy hanukkah to anybody, so I expect the same thing in return 🙂

[fossil merlin]

I see!

I specified Christmas because the joke would not have worked otherwise.

Moving forward however I will go with 'happy holidays' in the discord, no offense was intended ofc.

[blazing granite]

I'm not offended 🙂 don't worry

@fossil merlin when do you start the new job?

[austere verge]

I’m a professional at joblessness

Done it my whole life

[fossil merlin]

Jan 2 hopefully.

I'm hoping I get the official start date Thursday so I can tell my current job to fuck off.

They have made the past few months incredibly unpleasant since they want my team to start doing sales stuff now too.

[blazing granite]

That's not really something to be proud of 😂

[sage sand]

whats ur guys thoughts on majority of hacks being related to human error (employer beinhg tricked), is there a solution you'd hope to introduce to the workplace if u get hired somewhere?

i cant think of the purpose of cyber sec when ur efforts are useless

when some random employer could just get tricked by a hacker

[rocky coyote]

[mellow gull]

Oh, right, my employee might get tricked by a phishing email. I might as well leave port 22 open without a login.

[rapid merlin]

You cannot underestimate humanity's boundless arrogance and stupidity

[sage sand]

i've been thinking about that for years but i never rly asked someone pursuing a career in cyber sec if there's other things cyber protects companies from

most of the hacks ive seen have been just employers being tricked

[rapid merlin]

That is an unfortunate downside, a lot of the employees will just straight up ignore your advice

[mellow gull]

You can patch out web vulnerabilities and scripts and all the stuff you want to on the server layer. It is precisely because our means of protecting things on a network level is so effective that humans become the defacto weak link.

[fossil merlin]

Edu is the main thing I think employers should focus on in terms of cybersec, obviously we gotta keep our shit tight but that's why they pay us.

Everything else is just making sure non cyber employees consistently use safeguards

[sage sand]

ah you mean, the only reason human error hacks are the only hcks i see

is because u guys are doing ur job correct?

makes sense i guess yea

[rocky coyote]

Defense in depth

[fossil merlin]

It's what's carried me through my cold this week tbh 😭

[sage sand]

there needs to be just some new system in place for authentication when logging into accounts & accessing important files

[blazing granite]

I have a friend that always says "Don't tell people you can't be that stupid, because they may take it as a challenge" 😂

[fossil merlin]

Like I had to chew someone out a little bit for staying logged into his personal social media and emails on a work computer

[rapid merlin]

Passwords, MFA, 2FA, OTP's

[mellow gull]

There are a lot of tools and systems available for doing those precise things. This is why SIEM and network isolation and data encryption and access architecture and so many other things exist.

[fossil merlin]

Not in a mean way but that's just unsafe for him and our company.

[rapid merlin]

admittedly OTPs are somewhat useless if the email account they're sent to is compromised

[fossil merlin]

Homie also had his Amazon account logged in on his too desktop

This is in a call center of hundreds

[sage sand]

yea typically email auth is poinltess imo

[rapid merlin]

💀

[fossil merlin]

Fucking dumbass

[rapid merlin]

call centers are always targets

literal hubs of contact info

[fossil merlin]

It would be so easy to clear out his credit cards

[sage sand]

anyways employers will always get tricked into giving up the authentication some way or another

[fossil merlin]

Yuh

[fossil merlin]

Another guy downloaded a bunch of sketchy emulators and roms on his work computer

[mellow gull]

Now that's way worse than just being logged into Amazon LMAO

[sage sand]

there's been recent fake job interviews with completely made up companies

[boreal scarab]

If he's the Grinch. I'd hate to meet the Frownch.

You're a mean one. Mr FROWNCH

[sage sand]

those are some ways employers are targetted

[austere verge]

My number is prolly floating around in some dark corners of the internet ngl

[fossil merlin]

Windows defender can only do so much....

[sage sand]

dab!

[fossil merlin]

I helped him out and saved his job for him.

Some dumbass 19 year old and this workplace is one of the only places that pays well at an entry level in the area

[fossil merlin]

Yuh it's rough out here

Not as bad as the scam trafficking that happens in some places at least

[rapid merlin]

He was 19?

[mellow gull]

Utilizing login services and personal emails is sketchy if your device's access level is relevant, but is usually fairly harmless if there's no actual file access.

Downloading a bunch of ROMs and emulators and whatever else from who knows where? That's exceedingly problematic.

[fossil merlin]

Yuh

[sage sand]

scam trafficking? you mean forced labour forced to speak to targets?

[mellow gull]

I'm surprised the company network let him download stuff like that

[austere verge]

B-but I wanna play clash of clans at work

[rapid merlin]

No, they usually jsut buy leads off of people

Names, addresses, phone numbers, emails

usually

[sage sand]

ah you mean just buying databases

[rapid merlin]

no they literally them off of telemarketers & call centers

[sage sand]

Ah

[fossil merlin]

Yeah, a lot of peripheral nations will post a fake job to attract immigrant workers and then hold their passport hostage and force them to work in scam call centers.

[rapid merlin]

or an employee makes a copy of all their lists and sell them

[sage sand]

Well I'd imagine these people would want to target employers at high level positions

and hope to get them to install some package on their pc that contain their important files / logins

[fossil merlin]

It's a big problem in Cambodia rn

And parts of Thailand.

[rapid merlin]

entire world is going to shit

[fossil merlin]

So if you go to Cambodia for work be careful.

It's a problem in many peripheral nations though.

[sage sand]

it's been always shit, we just have the internet to see it going to shit far easier

[fossil merlin]

This is my position as well

Though I do feel we are having a downturn lately

Time is a flat circle

[rapid merlin]

I suppose

I haven't liked the way the world has been going for years

[sage sand]

i dont like to think much of it and just mind my own business in a way

[fossil merlin]

Yeah dude I honestly don't know how homie did it but he came to my office panicking

I cannot stop myself from thinking bout it 😔

[rapid merlin]

I can't, I physically cannot turn my mind off to the madness of the world lmao

[fossil merlin]

But that's a part of standing anxiety and a history in freelance journo

[sage sand]

if you cant, try finding ways to make improvements to the things you see issues in 😉

[fossil merlin]

Believe me I am trying. 😭

[rapid merlin]

That'd require going into politics, and I don't feel like dealing with narcissists & sociopaths

[sage sand]

maybe i need to care more about the issues in the world, then i might find a purpose

[sage sand]

aint meant to be a walk in the park!

[blazing granite]

I would never go to Cambodia to work, I've been there for tourism and I'm done no need to go back 😂

[fossil merlin]

I do a lot of work and I'm not in politics.

Education and helping people improve physical conditions is a lot.

Last year I spent the early winter building warming shelters with some friends by the riverfront that people who can't get into the homeless shelter stay at.

When some guy (who wasn't homeless) set one on fire we made sure everyone knew who he was

Politics is harsh, I think I'm too sensitive to involve myself with even local political offices.

[fossil merlin]

Where did you go?

I'm planning on visiting Thailand for a month or so to improve my Muay Thai.

And perhaps drink a little bit.

[fossil merlin]

Also, I don't really believe certain things can be "changed from the inside"

[rapid merlin]

^

[blazing granite]

I did the touristy stuff, I went with one of my ex gf and she liked to do that staff. I'm more of explore and mingle with locals, but we did Angkor Wat, Bayon Temple, Ta Prohm, Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, Pub Street, Choeung Ek Genocidal Center, Banteay Srei, Royal Palace, Angkor Thom, Central Market, APOPO Visitor Center, Koh Rong

if I have to do the tourist stuff, I usually go back and do my thing, but Cambodia didn't give me the vibe of coming back, some place you go back many time and some you go once and say, been there done that

[glass nest]

I was always told that the food in Cambodia is better than Thailand

[blazing granite]

nothing wrong with Cambodia. I enjoyed my stay there, just it doesn't feel a place to go back to

I've been many time to Greece

[glass nest]

Well... Maybe Cambodia feels the same way about you

[blazing granite]

And Turkey before went all radical 😂

[blazing granite]

I'm OK with that 😂

[glass nest]

A co-worker used to go to Turkey every year for his family holiday. Granted his main reason was to buy knock-off clothing brands, but stopped this year as it's not as cheap as it was. Apparently the cost of things just leapy up. He went to Egypt instead this year

[mellow gull]

Everything is fine.

[blazing granite]

I like Egypt I've been many time and it's close 🙂

hi

[placid vortex]

Hello,

I have a question: instead of using the attackbox, have you ever used your own virtual machine with Linux? If so, are there any “precautions” to take?

Otherwise, is it possible to do the same thing with a Docker image of Linux for more lightweight usage?

Thank you in advance for your answers and advice.

[glass nest]

Sure. THM uses OpenVPN which can allow your VM to connect to the machines

https://tryhackme.com/r/room/openvpn

Theres the room that covers how to.

As for the Docker stuff - I don't really know that much about Docker, but I don't see why not

[placid vortex]

Thank you for the link to the room; I’ll go and follow it.

As for Docker, I’m currently on the beginner room, and I find the concept of containers very interesting.

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @glass nest (current: #17 - 517)

Our very own CNMatic is all about Docker 😄

[placid vortex]

Alright ☺️
I’ll finish these rooms (OpenVPN and Docker) and then give it a try. 🤓

[rapid merlin]

I like that openvpn supports privilege drop and chroot https://openvpn.net/community-resources/hardening-openvpn-security/

not that those are required for every use case

[half girder]

i can highly recommend "lebkuchen schmidt" for next year, but you need to order at least a month before 😉 its from the xmas city nürnberg

[glass nest]

Although, it does to hot chocolate...

Also some Mandelbrochen

Lidl is great for german snacks 😄

[exotic vector]

oooo bean to cup nice !!
I watched a NileRed video on his other channel where he was making coffee from the cherry.

Dunno, Maybe. I know in Ireland we have Brack which is a fruit loaf

[thick oar]

around me people are eating as if they won't eat again for the next 100 years

We almost had a Polish/Brit fusion xmas but our budget said no. My partner grew up with a 12 course xmas dinner.

So I like all of the stuff mum makes (Apart from turkey, but thats not her cooking, I'm just not a fan of Turkey) So I wanna make sure I can get a little of everything

To be fair, there are 14 people this year. Maybe a couple more

Dex - shrug. You live your best life. Don't worry about how others see you (Once you aren't doing anything illegal/indecent)

fae - Have your Polish/Brit thing for new year. Chances are, lots of the stuff will be on sale after boxing day

Tomorrow, i'll be busy splitting my attention between a small army of nephews and neices

[thick oar]

tomorrow is just a guess, today is all we got

[glass nest]

I have emergency candies. I can throw them one way, and run the other..

[half girder]

[glass nest]

Yeah, but cats probably don't have nerf guns 😄

[thick oar]

i wish ti sleep for 3 flat days to come

[half girder]

[glass nest]

It's a wonderful chaos 🙂

[half girder]

i only know of 2 nephews i got, but who knows

[exotic vector]

[thick oar]

the best chaos is in wildest dance halls,where the dj is drunk

[glass nest]

fae - you are certainly one of the folk!

[gritty zephyr]

[thick oar]

city of dreamers

[half girder]

i dont need or want to know everything of everyone here 🤷‍♂️

[thick oar]

i wanted to hear that, you are kinda wise

[glass nest]

It's awesome, because I'd speak to people on here from places around the world, so learn loads. Usually about food and drink, but it's still learning about other cultures 😄

[thick oar]

so to i, i just love the atmosphere in here keeps me busy

[glass nest]

Turns out, people are more than happy to share stuff about their country/city/culture, once we are polite and interested. Who'd have thunk it.

[exotic vector]

AND we have a lot of common; we are nerds

[thick oar]

learning to be a world citizen

[thick oar]

not so alike, who is under 18???

[glass nest]

Thats part of it, fae! We all have a common interest, but then our OTHER interest come up, and we find kindred spirits. Like Arjay who's in the lumber/wood industry. James who's into electronics, Rex who is basically a world citizen (good phrase, dex)

[void zodiac]

Is Christmas now or tomorrow?

[exotic vector]

[lament tendon]

Naa, German company, they make workstations. Cirrus7, they are called.

[glass nest]

Thats normal, Dex. Especially at your age when the whole of adult life is ahead of you

[thick oar]

strangers make you feel loved you know

[glass nest]

Exactly. Coming from someone whos more than double your age, trust me. Most adults are also making it up as they go along aswell 🙂

[shell nova]

[shell nova]

if you're using vbox, go into settings for the vm then display and change the graphics controller to VMSVGA or VBOXSVGA depending what its set to, every now and then you have to switch between them
